READ THIS FIRST:This delay in post is due to factors beyond my control, as I plan to explain what happened. To begin, I ended up messing up my exam really badly and then weebly decided to give trouble -_-; When it started working, I got some more of the update done... but that was a few days ago. I haven't had a full day just to work on the game and then... BAM. My computer broke. My brand new, year old baby. It can't charge anymore, so I'm back on my big bulky IBM. I luckily backed it up shortly after I started the blog post back in November, but many features mentioned in the post are still on my own computer such as Scary night. My biggest hope is to get it fixed so I can retrieve those files, but for now, I'll work on other things until that can happen. I really hope it CAN be fixed, but there's a chance that 1000 dollars is practically gone. If so, I'll have to redo quite a bit- but I mostly have the scripts and stuff I primarily worked on either online or in my book, so we're okay for now :) I'm just really upset about my laptop as it broke yesterday. I also have my book f So Tonight (October 28th), I actually was searching through my USB to help free up some space and I'm dying a little bit, as I found some old events and face sprites from Celestial Dance. I kind of feel like laughing and like gagging all in one LOL. I certainly have come a long way as a writer and a... a... person who draws stuff (Can't.... ever....call.....self....artist....) I'd like to share some of these things with you~ Plus out with the old and in with the new! It's like... an early new years :'D ...I don't know what I'm doing with my life. [edit] Sorry for the long delay. I got caught up in the Game's written elements and School LOL So I got a TON done, but just didn't update. File Size updateJust a quick update on the file size for Celestial Dance. We still have to get rid of unused graphics and replace them with the new art etc, but currently the filesize stands at 400mb >.< That's not as big as I thought, but still too big for my hopes. With pictures and the MASS of audio files, prepare for a very large game ^_^; (Not too large though. I'll cut down if need be.) Feature of personalityWe've decided that your personality will effect your look and inner thoughts starting in the teen year. During the love events, your personality will chance the dialogue and how your face sprite looks. (For example- bubbly personality has larger eyes than snooty. Shy is in between.) Player Versus the HeroI've often got questions on the difference between the 'player and the hero'. The Hero is the character that you shape to be yours. The player is the person playing the game at the time. FOR EXAMPLE: The hero walks onto the scene and bumps into a pole. The player then chooses whether to yell at it or walk away like nothing happened. Tyrone's EventsToday I FINALLY finished Tyrone's events. A total of 10 Hero events, 6 Cindy events, a bunch of honeymoon events... UGH KILL MEEEEE. It took forever. PLUS, Tyrone speaks Japanese, So I spent so much time trying to find clips to help the voice actor out with that. We're almost finished Andy's as well. Amelia and I have been casting VAs the passed month which is why you haven't heard from us :) We've had the most progress in the passed month since we have nearly all the cutscenes including the plot script written WOOOOOOT! The last of Scary NightA little bitter-sweet announcement (for me) as I announce the completion of the scary night system! It was the first real festival I ever came up with, and it's the first real evented thing. It's really bitter-sweet for me, because I'll really miss all of the eventing. So... You guys know about the candy, pumpkin patch etc. But there are a few options we haven't yet explored! Test of Bravery- PreteenI'm not going to ruin anything for you, but it's a small game that the kids play. Max, Andy, Gage, Cindy, Tyrone, the hero, Kandi and Leo all take place in this particular test of bravery. this is based on a lot of anime I've seen LOL Anyway, so the group hears that this house has ghosts (Gage is pretty certain that they are monsters) and they're all for checking it out. They enter the house using the mayor's key (acquired by Cindy) and enter the empty and dark house. the kids wander around, as the hero is free to browse. Max is there incase the player feels that they do not want to partake in the game anymore, he will walk her home. If not, he will give her a hug and make her feel better <3 The goal is to investigate the house without chickening out. You will frequently find some NPC cowering in a corner LOL. Talk to all of them in order to hear some fun dialogue! The player will have the option to back out before they enter the house. The way the options are worded are based on the hero's personality :) There aren't any intentional screamers or anything, but it is dark, and some things may be a little scary for young children or me. LOL (I get creeped out easily.) The benefit to choosing this option is that it's a very different twist to regular game events. Collecting candy is pretty much the same other than changes in some dialogue. This changes in the teen year too, so in order to play this event, you have to play it as an alternative for Collecting Candy or going to the pumpkin patch. Once again, I suggest saving before entering the house in the evening, Play through the pumpkin patch, play through this, and then collect the Candy :) That way you get the best of all three! Throwing a Party -TeenNow this one is a little bit more fun than the test of bravery and trick or treating! You get Candy, but during a plot point of a murder mystery! (A fake one of course!) You will be inviting your friends over to a murder mystery party, where you guys will get into character and play out roles in a game. I actually had these parties for my birthday every year. This is the first time EVER that I won't be :) I'm doing something special for my 19th ;) Anyway! so, you AND your mom will be taking part, as your mom will play the host. It takes after Agatha Christie's: "And Then There Were None" and incorperates:
The ending of it is similar to the movie's ending. Unfortunately, my favorite rendition of this story is the video game, and they did a fantastic job with the ending, changing the original murderer. So, you will encounter a very similar story to 'And then There were none', with just really short game play. Test of Bravery -TeenThis time, the group isn't set on finding monsters/ghosts or anything. This time, they set up a "Haunted" area where members of the town are hiding in the darkness just to scare you. Since you probably don't have a boyfriend at this point, you will get to select the guy you want to spend time with! After this, you will enter the scare area... What will happen?? Date Night -Young adult/AdultWith your children gone (if you had any), you and your husband will be able to have a lovely night on your own. You can select from this option from three different ones. The third option is to take grandma, Dad and kids to the patch to pick out a pumpkin! In this option though, you and your husband go out together to a restaurant and have a little night of romance to yourself <3 You talk about your past together and have a little bit of time on your own~ Character overhaulYou guys remember this little cutie, right? Well. Tristan will always be our cutie petutie! His little pony tail, though and those charming green eyes... somehow got written out in this latest overhaul. You remember the facemaker faces, right? well... I had made adult versions of them. This was the evolution of Tristan (starting from teen) We actually completely forgot about the last one, but Tristan's hair turned out to be more like the final than any others. We're still deciding whether we want to change his eyes back to green, or keep them brown. Why change his ponytail? As much as I love it, it was REALLY hard to draw for me for some reason. Somehow, I drew him without it and I liked it 100 times better than anything else I had tried. Winter ExclusivesCurrently incomplete list~ Celestial Dance Timeline So We were giving some major thoughts (We meaning me) about the CD timeline- i.e. When it takes place and how long each chapter is. Well, I'm still contemplating where the story begins. I was originally thinking in 2004 (to match up with my person timeline- 2004 is when I would have been eight.) But then I realized that in the child year, there are many 2011-2013 references so the game may take place in the future opposed to before date. Which would mean that the here and now, the kids would be around 10-11. As far as the chapters go, I've decided the length for the child and pre-teen chapters. I thought it would be best to have the pre-teen chapter significantly shorter that the child, teen, or young adult chapter. So the Child and pre-teen are finalized, but the teen, adult and young adult are not. CHILD: September 2nd - June 30th PRE-TEEN: March 1st - August 9th TEEN: [Most likely will be from August - July] Y. Adult: -Unknown- Adult: Most likely a year- a year and a half As far as the school timeline goes.... December-February = Winter break May-September= Summer woo yay for solving my school lesson problems :) I'm actually going to stop using title headers right now, as Weebly is giving me lots of trouble with logging me off -_-; I'm right now finishing town and random events, finishing up the Honeymoon events for each guy and the marriage LOL. I programmed in the 'asking for a child' event and Max's sounds really depressing, so I have to change it. Gage's script either~ Tristan's script is almost done~ Andy's script should be done soon~ Jet's script should be done too~ Damion's script is almost finished~ Max's script isn't even started~ Aris's script isn't really stareted either~ Gage's script either~ Tristan's script is almost done~ Tyrone's script is finished~ Jay's script is really lacking in content~ Kyler's script is done~ Leo's script is almost finished~ I'm getting tired of typing tillies~ Kandi's script isn't ready, Neither is Tytannia's... or Roxie's... Or Cindy's... which is fine, because those are either Amelia or myself. But Tai's is done. Actually I lied, so is Cindy's LOL. Um... So is Piroline's! ...OH! And Anastasia's. Woot! We're getting there! Kuroneko Autumn is my favorite season too >w< It's sooo pretty and colourful~ Ahhhh spring must be so nice over there! We have toooons of snow right now. We're right now going on about 10cm of snow over night. It makes me sad :C I miss fall. Hehe I ended up finishing 40000 words. I was 10000 off from winning, but I lost >.< There's lots of dialogue to go around :) There's about 5-10 strips of dialogue per relationship level, 4-5 different years. It's like animal crossing >.< Everything will start to sound the same *Sigh* I guess I have to play AC a bit and get some more ideas~ The kissing thing is funny! I plan to have nearly ever VA record a line of them getting angry at you if you're too forward. They may be a CG, but it may only be a silhouette as 22 different CGs would not be fun LOL. The game has progressed a lot in the passed month~ We're doing well ^_^ YAY! I plan to have at least the child dialogues done by next week (but I have to study, so we'll see!) When Weebly's working better, I'll post the face sets :) For now, I'll post what I have to photobucket and link it for you guys! Sorry about the delay ^_^;;; I'm still trying to get the web editor to work *sigh* It's being so mean to me right now D: Thanks for your comment ^_^ Randommerade I really hope I spelled that right XD Sorry it took me so long to get this update up :S as I said, the web editor is glitching out on me, and with Nanowrimo and VAing, I haven't had the patience to fix it XD (Hilariously enough, when I typed that it glitched out again *sigh*) The Americas all share the same seasons~ So we're both going on winter here :) (Americas meaning North and South America i.e. the United states and Canada~) Ooooh! Pencil sketches sound fun :) I'm so lazy LOL. I just put them between books >.> I still have those leaves though~ Thunder monster is always fun~ I needed some pokemon references. you can't have a game without them! I'm glad you like them ^_^ I actually used a picture reference for Simply Fall, and ugh. It has uggs. But I do like the way the scary Night one turned out~ Now to figure out the rest of the seasons! hehe thank you! His path is fairly interesting, so I hope he appeals to you! You have a good choice XD For me, I'd probably go along the lines of Max, Kyler, Tyrone then Damion I guess XD Jet and I don't really mix, though I've started to like him as a chont> But anyway, I tried another video, but it's boring. So I'll wait and try a different one :) Weelll I'm going to go shovel about 30 cm of snow (1 foot) from my patio... we just did so like 3 hours ago >.< I hope all is well!I don't think I can wait to finish it XD But anyway, I tried another video, but it's boring. So I'll wait and try a different one :) Weelll I'm going to go shovel about 30 cm of snow (1 foot) from my patio... we just did so like 3 hours ago >.< I hope all is well! Alice FashionsSo why is Alice Fashions called what it is? I'll give you a hint- It's not because of the main character. Back in 2010, I was obsessed with modding the sims 2 with animations, poses- everything. So my I made a family who modelled and stuff and took pictures XD this was when my editing skills were garbage at best XD I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO SPELL FASHIONS D: The random funnies and awful drawings:
